Full Text Bug Listing

Planet has been broken for a while. Republished that hanno's amarok + moodbar
thing many times, republished dsd's complete blog and today it just republished
zaheerm's complete blog.

Nothing planet can do about this. My blog was reposted when I upgraded
wordpress, wordpress changed all the timestamps. Same with zaheer I guess.
Hanno's blog writes incorrect timestamps every time he writes a new post, even 
in category unpublished on the planet. Hanno is aware, hopefully he has it
fixed.

OK... Today: complete nixphoeni's blog (universe looks even worse, even more
outdated stuff) republished; and sebastian's eZ components appear yet again.
Meanwhile, the amarok thing has been republished a bunch of times.

If this can't be fixed on p.g.o level, then remove the broken blogs from
aggregation until they are fixed. Ignoring the breakage makes Gentoo look
pretty lame. :/

Hanno's RSS feed, 25th april

Hanno,

Please fix your blog. I am attaching a current copy of the RSS feed for future
reference.

If the dates change again then I'll temporarily remove you from the planet
until it is fixed. Sorry to sound so harsh, just it does damage the flow of the
planet...

Joe Sapp's feed, April 25th

Joe Sapp (nixphoeni)'s weblog has only been republished once to my knowledge..
probably due to a blog software upgrade? Anyway, here's a current copy of the
RSS feed, if it happens again we can investigate further.

Sebastian Bergmann's feed, 25th april

Sebastian,

Planet has been repeatedly republishing your weblog on the site. This usually
happens when your buggy blog software mistakenly modifies the date of every
post in your feed, or if it makes some other large unneeded change.

Here is a copy of your feed from today. If it happens again, we'll have a basis
for comparison.

AFAIK, Serendipity, which is the blog software I am using, bumps the RSS
timestamp when an entry is edited after its initial publication. I would not
call this behaviour a bug, but a feature.

The post which springs to mind is the "EZ Components now available in Portage"
one. Have you been editing that one?

Okay, I just checked with Garvin Hicking (lead developer of Serendipity).

The current behaviour is this: Serendipity's feeds contains all entries since
If-Last-Modified, and not only the last 15 (which would be sent for an
Unconditional GET request). Planet does not handle this correctly, hence the
"republishing".

The issue is fixed in Serendipity's SVN TRUNK (which will become Serendipity
1.1): "Added new configuration option to that lets you toggle whether to comply
with RFC2616 on Conditional GET.".

Yes, I edited that posting, AFAICR.

Sorry about that.  I was screwing with the RSS flavour I wrote for blosxom, so
the content of the feed changed about 3 times.  Planet wasn't catching when I'd
post something new, so I tried to fix it.

I've installed the svn-version mentioned by sebastian in #8 and activated the
option, so my blog should be okay now.

@hanno: it ain't, repeat as of 05/01/06 07:31 utc.

Ok, I just discovered that we were running an ancient version of Planet (the
"nightly snapshot" on planetplanet.org was like years old). I just upgraded us
to the latest nightly as of today. Fingers crossed that this has better old
article detection, since that TODO item disappeared...

(I think the republishing of Hasan Khalil's blog is a side-effect of the
upgrade.)

Marking as fixed for now, problem doesn't seem to have reappeared
